From particle size and powder behavior to liquid viscosity and shear sensitivity, manufacturers must consider a complex interplay of raw material traits and mixer technologies to achieve uniform, high-performance formulations.
With their gentle pumping action, peristaltic pumps offer high durability and versatile performance, making them a good choice for a wide range of industrial applications.
Strategic selection of mixing equipment is essential to efficiently produce the next generation of high-value adhesives and capitalize on industry innovations.
Amid the wave of cutting-edge formulation work, one fundamental processing truth remains: optimal mixing, dispersion, and emulsification are critical for achieving the desired color, gloss, conductivity, stability, adhesion, cure rate, weather resistance, and other properties.
A Rotary Batch Mixer imparts no shear or heat into heat-sensitive hot melt adhesive ingredients.
